Lynn/Nahant Fishing Report

INSHORE – A migration of small Bass (Bass, Striped) are moving from Scituate to Green Harbor to Duxbury Bay. Look for the birds to find them. There is still a week of October and early November to have some blitz like activity from Hull to the North river. As far as keeper size Bass, the numbers have not been bad considering there are not many boats left in the water and the shore angler numbers have dropped considerably. Eels and plugs have been the ticket at night, and Pogie heads from the surf during daytime hours.Some of the heaviest bass taken in Massachusetts have been caught in early November, so keep that in mind if you are thinking about putting the gear away. Bluefish are mostly done. Cod (Cod, Atlantic) is now restricted to state waters, one fish 19 inches, should be a couple good months of Cod fishing. Head out to the 3 mile mark in roughly 60-70 ft of water to find them. PRO ANGLER APP USERS – Tap a fish below the report for more angling tips and tricks!

OFFSHORE – Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) fishing has been pretty good since Columbus day, the bank has given up lots of fish 70 pounds and up. Most are caught on live Mackerel (Mackerel, Atlantic). Breaking Tuna have been spotted as close as Stone ledge, there have been some taken on spinning rods with jigs, but live bait still prevails. The bite will slow down in the next few weeks.

The shore anglers are finally getting paid off after putting in long hours all season.Surfcasters have had some beautiful Bass (Bass, Striped) up to 40 pounds while fishing during nighttime hours. Eels have been doing the job, dark swimmers, bottle, plugs and needlefish also produce. Many different beaches and rock piles have held fish since the mini storm a few weeks ago, pretty much any beach from Hull to fourth cliff that has some good structure. Massive Bluefish blitzes Saturday morning at the Glades, Peggotty beach, and Green Harbor beach, I was saying all week I could not believe the lack of Blues with the water temp and all the bait we had around, well they came in hard overnight Friday with the northeast wind. Pogies flowed out of Boston harbor that night and ended up on the south shore. Big Blues 11-13 pounds, real tackle busters.

Starting to see some better bass inshore but the majority of good ones still being taken close to the three mile mark. Focus on areas that are holding the masses of tinker Mackerel, off sand hills and Egypt beach has been one of those areas. Winter Flounder (Flounder, Winter) remains solid off peggotty beach,Scituate harbor also holds good numbers of keeper flounder also.,get em while you can, July usually proves to be tough. Codfish in state waters is good, federal water opens August 1. Keepers are caught around the NE whistle Buoy.

OFFSHORE – Bluefin Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) have been scattered and spread out, plenty of bait on the bank so it should go off. One hundred pounders have been reported crashing on bait on a couple occasions, the tuna just are not sticking around.

Lynn/Nahant Fishing Report

INSHORE – No shortage of Mackerel (Mackerel, Atlantic) this week a little scattered on Thursday but loaded all other days. Bass (Bass, Striped) fishing still not the best on your inshore ledge, most quality Bass have been caught at least one half mile off the shore. There have been some nice explosions at the mouth of the North River, these have been small fish up to 24 inches, with a small keeper thrown in. Both Flounder (Flounder, Winter & Flounder, Summer (Fluke)) in the harbor and inshore Codfish (Cod, Atlantic) are holding up nicely. Massive amounts of spike Mackerel in Mass Bay should bring on a healthy dose of gamefish, whether it is Bass, Bluefish, or Bluefin (Tuna, Bluefin) is the question. It looks really good out there, keep fishing outside and we hope something really good will occur.

Lynn/Nahant Fishing Report

INSHORE – Boston Harbor fishing has been very solid so far this season. The light tackle anglers are out there every morning finding the surface feeding schools of mid 20 inch sized Striped Bass (Bass, Striped). Several keeper sized fish are mixed in busting on the surface, and over the last 7-10 days we are starting to pull fish out from beneath the blitzes up to 42 inches and 30 plus pounds. The fish are moving pretty quickly on the surface so patience is key over the run and gun technique. As the weather continues to improve more and more boats are out there every day and you’ll be fighting the crowds. Make an effort to get within range of the busting fish when you can, but if they seem gone by the time you get there hold your spot and don’t be afraid to drop down below the boat and jig a bit while you wait for them to reappear. Over the past few weeks just as many fish have been caught using this technique as when you make that perfect cast into the blitz – this is also when you have a good chance to hook up with those big bass that are feeding down below the action. Herring is the predominant bait right now in the Boston Harbor – both small and large in size – using soft plastics in the 4-7 inch range will produce fish, I like them rigged on a 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2 ounce jig head depending on how much water movement there is based on the wind and tide. Be sure to practice catch and release fishing.

INSHORE – The edge of the state water mark has been the best area to find the largest Striped Bass (Bass, Striped) in our area. Fish pushing 30 pounds have been taken in the deeper water on live Mackerel. The number two areas is the North River, look for keepers there for a couple more weeks. Look for the inshore areas along the beaches to improve as the new shell lobsters move in. Winter Flounder (Flounder, Winter) remains steady on the beaches and in the harbors, a few blackbacks pushing 4 pounds have been caught in and around Scituate harbor. The tinker mackerel have moved in along with the harbor Pollock, look for the Bass fishing to be the best of the season a couple days after first big push through Cape Cod canal. You can grab one cod in state waters over 19 inches, this has been decent east of Minot.

OFFSHORE – Haddock remains healthy all over Stellwagen Bank, small teasers tipped with clam or Mackerel is all you need. 90 inch BFT (Tuna, Bluefin) have been trolled at Crab Ledge Chatham, Mass Bay awaits any size Tuna that wants to visit there.

INSHORE – Inshore Cod (Cod, Atlantic) is good try to skirt the three mile mark out in front of North River, you can keep one Cod 19 inches here. Good inshore Flounder [Flounder, Summer (Fluke)] areas are off Peggotty and Egypt beaches, about 20 feet of water. Green Harbor, Scituate harbor, and Cohasset harbor also have good numbers of Winter Flounder, the best fish have been 18 inches about 3 pounds. North river remains most productive place for Bass (Bass, Striped), fish any where from ten to forty inches taken here, soft plastics have worked well!

OFFSHORE – Stellwagen bank is still loaded with Cod (Cod, Atlantic) and Haddock, you cannot keep a Cod out there until August 1. Middle bank out to the eastern middle age has been productive for the Haddock (15 fish 17 inches per person.) Plenty of Mackerel (Mackerel, Atlantic) out on the bank also, mostly on surface or just under. The Mackerel in front of Scituate and Cohasset are not as thick but are catchable. Large Striped Bass (Bass, Striped) do lurk under the macs, a few in the 40 inch range have been caught at the scituate bell. Fishing the deeper water the first half of June st.always produces Hogs (Hogfish).

Bottom fishing Pollock (Pollock, Atlantic) continues to do well throughout most of the year. 180-300 ft and even closer to shore has been holding Pollock. Anglers are using small pieces of Mackerel or Herring as bait.

BAIT REPORT – Mackerel and Squid are both running and have not been difficult to catch. Smelt are expected to move in shortly. Fisherman’s Outfitter is a great spot to bring in or ship your equipment for year end service.

DISCLAIMER:
Since fishing conditions change from minute to minute we try to keep our reports as updated as possible. The United States is a large country, so we try to keep our Lynn / Nahant Fishing Report updated once a week. If you would like to contribute to the Lynn / Nahant Fishing Report, feel free to email your fishing tips to mike@proangler.us. We rely on even small contributions to inform us that fishing conditions have changed so we can update the Lynn / Nahant Fishing Report.

The Lynn / Nahant Fishing Report is brought to you by the Pro Angler team and many, many, highly skilled Captains and bait shop owners.
